Couple having an argument

They say opposites attract.

Though, in order for any couple to have good chemistry, they will likely have to see eye to eye on certain things.

Or, at the very least, be open to hearing their spouse's side of things in order to avoid constant arguments.

In all likelihood, though, even married couples who seem to have more in common than not will still disagree about something.

Possibly something small, like preferring the beach to the mountains for a vacation, or indeed something more fundamental, like religious or political beliefs.

A difference of opinion neither side is ever likely to change.


Redditor Worldly_Platform3586 was curious to hear the many things married men always have, and always will, disagree with their spouses about, leading them to ask:
"Married men of reddit, what is one thing you and your wife have completely different opinions about?

Or Blue and Black, or White and Gold?...

"How to spend our vacation."

"Knowing these differences, however, we compromise."

"I know I can't stay at the hotel all day, and she knows that we can't go out every minute."
